    I got a grouper sandwich and it was great. The french fries were amazing crispy and soft at the same time. My friend got the fried platter which he said it was OK. But the breaker bowl was amazing had so much flavor and was very refreshing. The chicken Caesar wrap is a bit spicy not sure if it's too much black pepper being used, but it's OK. The service at this location was all right. But as far as the seating area was nice clean, and it was an open area with a lot of room.

    Chicken Tendies

    This has always been one of my favorite spots in Atlanta and it still is. The vibes are off the chart. There's a massive indoor/outdoor patio right on the beltline. There's also an indoor dining room with retro aesthetic. Their chicken tendies are too die for! And the fries are perfectly seasoned. They do an all-day HH a couple of days a week with 6 dollar margs. Hard to beat!

    I had been wanting to check out breaker breaker for a while and finally got a chance to check them out. Such a cool spot located on the beltline. I ordered the blackened grouper sandwich and a fish taco my girl ordered the fried shrimp plate. Everything was amazing. I know there hype around another popular restaurants blackened grouper sandwich (iykyk) but the one at breaker breaker is the best I've had in Atlanta. Big fan of this restaurant and will definitely be back. You're welcome!

    Giving Breaker Breaker 5 stars despite the fact that they brought my husband the wrong meal not once but twice. He ordered the blackened shrimp po boy & they brought him a grouper sandwich first then brought him a fried shrimp po boy. He was a bit nervous eating it b/c he doesn't tolerate fried foods well but he felt bad returning it so he ate it anyway. We all enjoyed our food then headed to the rooftop where we encountered the most fantastic bartender. The atmosphere up there is 10/10 and so is the service. We can't wait to return!

    Come closer, let me give you a lil life advice *whispers* get the fried chicken on Soul Food Sunday! Ok back to your regularly scheduled review, Breaker Breaker serves buckets of fried chicken on Sundays, and you're seriously missing out if you don't make your way down there soon! The crispy, juicy, mixed pieces are what KFC wishes they could be on a good day. The Mac is Creamy and the collards are smoky with a hint of sweetness. I'm sure the sweet tea is good but I opted for a margarita instead. Everything is served by friendly staff in a fun casual atmosphere. If I ever don't feel like cooking on a Sunday, you know where to find me!

    Captain's Platter Salad

    3.5/5 Came in on a Friday night and it was busy but service was attentive. Atmosphere: The set up is cute and the music is great. There's a walk up order station & limited service walk up bar. Theres a full bar upstairs and seating with full service inside. THE FLIES THOUGH. We spent our entire meal waving our hands so none would land on our cups or food. I know its summer in the south so bugs are a given but maybe large fans to keep them away Food: We got the Captains Platter and split it along with a Caesar salad. You probably want your own meals. I wish they specified what the "gulf fish" is but I also could have asked. It was firm and a bit dry. The shrimp was fiiiiire, their fries are fiiiiire,the hushpuppies were good. We ended up ordering more fries after finishing our meal. Would try again

    Enjoyed my first visit to Breaker Breaker. Great vibes and good food! Decided to check it out on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy. (We did go around 6). We sat outside on the lower patio. The set up is pretty cool. The patio you walk up to order and the inside you are served. The upstairs (Florida man) is more of a bar feel. (I got Miami cool kids vibe up there). But Plenty of seating everywhere. We ordered the peel and eat shrimp and the blackened grouper Sammy. Really enjoyed the shrimp. The cocktail sauce was delightful. Loved the grouper sandwich. The slaw definitely goes well on the sandwich. The only negative feedback I had was their flys and mosquitos everywhere. Probably not their responsibility but it's definitely coming from the natural area between the restaurant and the belt like. And doesn't help that the trash was pretty full. Other than that complaint everything was great. Also, love that they had Sierra Nevada on draft. You Can never go wrong with that!

    Boozy slushy
    Ashley C.

    So glad I came here! Loved the vibe--I really felt like I was on the beach lol. Breaker Breaker is located near the Renoldsytown side of the belt-line. Youll have to find a residential/street parking space. When you walk up, the bar/window is for drinks only, but if you walk further down, there's a separate window to order food. I ordered the grouper sandwich, fries, and the seasonal boozy slushy, which was lime, ginger, and cherry (I think). Cashier was nice and even let me sample the slushy before buying! The food was good! Fries were different but well seasoned and hot. Grouper was a good size too. There were fans rotating from the side of the building, so there was a nice breeze. Afterwards, you can take a nice walk on the beltline. I can't wait to come back to try the vegan crab cakes and the oysters!

    I've had this restaurant on my list to visit for a long time and have heard many mixed reviews so I had to check it out myself. My fiance and I decided to visit on a beautiful Thursday. The first thing I appreciated was the free parking options right next to the building. We wanted to eat on the patio, so we followed the signage to where we placed our order. Since we went during their Thursday drink specials, we ordered one of each ($2 beer, $3 shot, and $6 margarita). Since I did research before arriving, I decided to order the blackened grouper sandwich since there were many reviews raving about it, while my fiance ordered the nashville hot fish sandwich. After about a 15 minute wait our food arrived. I absolutely loved the grouper sandwich and the wedge fries that it came with. The blackened seasoning was flavorful without overpowering the fish and the fries were crispy and generously seasoned. After eating, we stayed for a little while longer to watch people walk the beltline right next to the building, take pictures of the aesthetic colors of the restaurant, and plan our next stop of the day. I would love to come back with a group of friends since there are plenty of benches and seating available outside and to try other menu items while enjoying the day outside.

    Seasonal Boozy Slushy
    Ada C.

    Breaker Breaker has a fan out of me. Decided to try for lunch as Hubby and I were craving seafood. Breaker Breaker is located off of the Eastside beltline (NOT the Ponce City Market area) in a residential area so parking is very limited. We were able to locate a street spot. Once you arrive you have the option to be served inside or order at the window for patio seating where food will be brought out to you. I ordered the fried fish tacos with the seasonal boozy slushy and my Husband had the boiled peanuts with the Fried Fish Captain's platter. There's a water station to serve yourself, wish it was ice water since we sat on the patio. Patio seating gives you the option to sit away from dogs or with your dog/amongst dogs. Love that each outdoor section on the patio had an overhead fan. Breaker Breaker also had great tunes playing with a friendly staff. I'm obsessed with the boozy slushy, great flavor and so refreshing. My Husband enjoyed the boiled peanuts but wished the cayenne pepper was tossed throughout the peanuts. I got to try some of his fried fish that was seasoned and breaded very well. It was paired with hand cut chips that still had a slight French fry thickness and texture to them & were also seasoned very well. My fried fish tacos were pretty tasty in flavor but very heavy on the slaw, would've loved just a bit more fish within the taco. Overall I can't wait to return for good seafood and people watching.

    If you're looking for a laid-back outdoor experience, this is the place to be. Just to give you a quick overview: there are two sections--yes, two--one for dog lovers, and the other for those who may enjoy dogs but prefer not to be surrounded by them while dining. However, I did notice someone breaking the rule, so I'm not sure how strictly this policy is enforced! There are also two sections for food and bar service. If you're ordering food and prefer the patio option, you'll need to order at the counter and then grab a seat on the patio. If you're planning to enjoy your meal at the bar, you can order both food and drinks directly at the bar. If you're having a drink--whether it's a cocktail, beer, or specialty drink--and want to enjoy it on the patio, you simply order at the bar and then head back to your seat on the patio. I ordered the shrimp platter, and it was seasoned to perfection--crispy with excellent flavor! My habanero beverage was also delicious. My only slight concern was the lack of diversity, though this could have been due to the time I visited. Given that it's Atlanta, I was expecting to see a broader mix of cultures. That being said, the demographics of certain neighborhoods can sometimes result in a more homogenous crowd. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it.

    Cup of Gumbo.
    Liselle B.

    Who would have thought we could get delicious, fresh-tasting seafood in Atlanta right outside Cabbagetown, but here we are! Stopped by and ordered a Cup of Gumbo, Charbroiled Oysters, Blackened Grouper Sandwich, and a Gulf Fish Fried Platter to eat. For cocktails we had the Vaya Con Dios and the Billy Big Rigger. Every single dish was delicious and perfectly executed; I personally love the way this place cuts their fries! I enjoyed the cocktails, especially the slight heat mixed with passion fruit flavor in the Vaya Con Dios. Minus 1 star because I would have preferred if they had seats with back at the bar instead of stools, but I get they may have been going for that retro diner vibe. However, that won't stop me from going back because the food was too good!

    MENU as of APRIL 2025

    LOCATION: On the far side of the Beltline. There is street parking, but I came on a weekday so not sure how busy it gets on the weekend or peak times. AMBIANCE: Indoor/Outdoor causal vibe. This place is BIG! It was empty when I came on a weekday, but I'm sure it gets PACKED! You can hangout & people watch along the Beltline. FOOD: $20 CABBAGE & CRISPY RICE SALAD + ADDED GRILLED SHRIMP. It was a HUGE salad. Got some blackened grilled shrimp, it was DELICIOUS! I wish there was more crispy rice on top for texture but it was amazing! Came with freshly sliced oranges also. OVERALL: Super cool place to come and hangout for the day, maybe day drink, or people watch, grab a quick bite. Casual enough to come often!

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe.

I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all!

The bartender named Jack was sweet and entertaining considering it was a slow night. He flirted a lot with my friend and it was a silly moment. We went back to enjoy a night out again before heading home the next day and Jack was there again. Because my friend had had such a good time chatting with him before she flirted back a little bit and was just enjoying the night. We ordered food and drinks and things were going well. Throughout the night Jack and my friend would sneak off and talk and make out while he was on the clock. None of this mattered to me because who cares, it's a bar, we're young and just having a bit of fun. However after we left the bar he texted my friend that it was "messed up" we only tipped 15% on our $193 bill claiming he "took care of so much" for us. I'm not even sure what that means because again - our bill for that night was almost $200. The food was amazing - I need the salsa recipe STAT - but overall the bartender ended up being kind of a jerk that seemed like he was just doing all this to get laid. Earlier this week (mind you it's July) I went back to give this place a second chance and the bartender mentioned before - JACK - was asked by one of my friends if we could get green tea shots and he felt it appropriate to confront me about this review. I apologized if my math was wrong because he claimed i only tipped 13% & not 15% was constantly saying "20% is standard" (not true but whatever) and then when i said he claimed to take care of so much HE claimed the bill should've been $250 and then said "but i understand your white entitlement lets you think you can do whatever" (idk i blacked out with rage after "white entitlement") MIND YOU you i'm half chinese not that it matters, jack - cause i know you're reading this - & i of course got heated because HES ALSO WHITE so clearly HIS white entitlement lets him think he can be hateful to patrons for reviews regardless of wether or not they try to take ownership of their faults. Needless to say the staff here is awful and I will NEVER come back to this bar so enjoy that win, Jack.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting. It wasn't overly loud or crowded, and the décor created a relaxed, comfortable vibe that made for a great dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food. My friend ordered the prime rib and requested it Pittsburgh-style seared. I ordered the steak burger cooked medium-well. Unfortunately, my burger came out a little more well-done than I prefer, so it wasn't as juicy as I had hoped. My friend also felt his prime rib was a bit more undercooked than expected. Neither dish was bad, but they both missed the mark just enough that I'd give the food a 3 out of 5. One thing that absolutely deserves a shoutout was the tomato jelly that came with my burger. It was incredible! It tasted like the perfect blend of ketchup and jelly--slightly sweet but not overly sweet, with just the right balance of flavor. I ended up dipping my fries in it, and it was so good that I'd gladly order it again. It was easily one of the most memorable parts of the meal. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Our server, Sam, was outstanding. He was personable, attentive, friendly, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with. Great service can completely change a dining experience, and Sam did exactly that.
